I'm a middle schooler and want to join marching band in high school and want to start preparing now. I understand that traditional grip and playing overall is stiffer than just drum set playing right? And yes, I already know my traditional grip. Still working on it, but if you asked me to play with that grip, I could. Are there other things I should know? I'm sure there are.
